Size Guide
When selecting wall art, size is key to ensuring it complements the room...
Here’s a quick guide:
Hallways
Choose vertical pieces or series of smaller frames to create a gallery effect along the wall. This keeps the space feeling open and adds a dynamic touch.
Bathrooms
Opt for small to medium-sized pieces ( a4 + A3 sizes ) that can withstand humidity, adding charm without overpowering the space. Single artworks or small clusters work best near mirrors or towel racks. Wrapped canvas are perfect for spaces where there is humidity.
Above Fireplaces
Go with art that’s about two-thirds the width of the fireplace to balance the proportions. A single, horizontally-oriented piece works well to anchor this focal point.
Living Rooms
For a sofa backdrop, pick art that spans two-thirds to three-quarters of the sofa’s width. Large statement pieces or multi-panel sets make a bold impact here
Bedrooms
Above the bed, select artwork about two-thirds the bed’s width to maintain visual harmony. Calming imagery in moderate sizes enhances relaxation.
Nurseries, kids bedrooms & playrooms
Keep pieces low, accessible, and at a medium size, allowing them to grow with the child. Consider whimsical designs and gentle colors that suit the room’s soothing atmosphere.
HOME OFFICE
Choose medium/big-sized art that inspires but doesn’t overwhelm. Place art at eye level behind your desk or on side walls to keep it in view as a motivational boost.
Kitchens
Since wall space is often limited in kitchens, choose small to medium-sized pieces that fit snugly between cabinets or above countertops. Art above a breakfast nook or near the dining area can add warmth and personality without taking up too much space.
Dining Rooms
Opt for larger, horizontally-oriented artwork to span the length of your dining table or hang a series of smaller pieces in a grid. Art in dining areas should help set the mood, so consider calm or inviting designs that enhance the room’s atmosphere.
